New explosions were reported in Bahrain early Wednesday morning, minutes after an initial wave of blasts, according to unverified reports. No casualties or damage have been confirmed.
New explosions were reported in Bahrain at around 06:07 Jerusalem time, minutes after a previous wave of blasts at 06:04, according to unverified reports. This latest wave extends a series of explosions that have rattled the kingdom since early Wednesday morning.
The initial reports emerged at 04:36 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer reported that Iran had begun missile fire toward Bahrain. Over the next hour, multiple waves of explosions were reported: at 04:51, reports attributed the blasts to possible air defense interceptions; at 05:03, a second wave; at 05:04, a third; and at 05:31, a fourth wave. Sirens were also activated in Bahrain during this period, according to Israeli media reports. The verification status evolved from a single unconfirmed source to multiple reports from outlets such as N12 and ynet, but all accounts remain unconfirmed.
As The Zioneer reported on June 28, explosions and sirens were reported in Bahrain amid Iranian retaliatory launches. On June 10, Iran launched a second wave of attacks against Bahrain, and on June 11, Bahrain's Foreign Minister confirmed that 36 Iranian drones were launched, with an 11-year-old girl injured by debris. The current morning's events appear to fit a pattern of repeated Iranian strikes on the Gulf state.
The cause of the latest explosions remains unknown, and no casualties or damage have been confirmed. The responsible party has not been stated.
